State Title game starts with a T

[BoomerSooner]

Maybe not the most honest thing to do, but had a similar situation as a player (I was the dummy that lost my jersey). Wasn't the title game, but playoffs, I tell my coach and he asks is there any chance it might have blood anywhere on it. Coach knew I had been scratched during our previous game and I used my jersey to prevent the ref from seeing the blood (wiped it on the inside of the jersey). Told the coach it had been washed, but I didn't know if it stained or not. He ended up telling the official that I changed jersey's due to blood on the jersey. No questions asked - more importantly no T.
